Polls can be skewed. They are NOT to be trusted. Remember when McCain was AHEAD by 8 points? Was that poll right? Who knows. I don't trust them. They are meant to shape opinion.
You'd think that folks would be more wary of polling results after seeing them go so wildly off the mark in the past, but unfortunately, some people still cling to the belief that they tell the gospel truth.
It's a real pleasure to see your chosen candidate doing well in the polls, but what happens when your candidate loses the one poll that really matters? Do you learn a lesson from that, or not? Apparently, some don't.
